Cher gained popularity in 1965 as one-half of the folk rock husband-wife duo Sonny & Cher after their song "I Got You Babe" peaked at number one on the US and UK charts. Together they sold 40 million records worldwide. Her solo career was established during the same time, with the top-ten singles "Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)" and "You Better Sit Down Kids". She became a television personality in the 1970s with her CBS shows; first The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour, watched by over 30 million viewers weekly during its three-year run, and then the namesake Cher. She emerged as a fashion trendsetter by wearing elaborate outfits on her television shows.
While working on television, Cher released the US Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles "Gypsys, Tramps & Thieves", "Half-Breed", and "Dark Lady", becoming the female artist with the most number-one singles in United States history at the time. After her divorce from Sonny Bono in 1975, she released the disco album Take Me Home (1979) and earned $300,000 a week for her 1979–1982 concert residency in Las Vegas.
In 1982, Cher made her Broadway debut in the play Come Back to the 5 & Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean and starred in its film adaptation. She subsequently garnered critical acclaim for her performances in films such as Silkwood (1983), Mask (1985), The Witches of Eastwick (1987), and Moonstruck (1987), the last of which won her the Academy Award for Best Actress. She then revived her music career by recording the rock-inflected albums Cher (1987), Heart of Stone (1989), and Love Hurts (1991), all of which yielded successful singles such as "I Found Someone", "If I Could Turn Back Time", and "Love and Understanding". Cher contributed to the soundtrack for her next film, Mermaids (1990), which spawned the UK number-one single "The Shoop Shoop Song (It's in His Kiss)". She made her directorial debut with a segment in the abortion-themed anthology If These Walls Could Talk (1996).
Cher reached a new commercial peak in 1998 with the dance-pop album Believe, whose title track topped the Billboard Year-End Hot 100 singles of 1999 and became the biggest-selling single of all time by a female artist in the UK. It features pioneering use of Auto-Tune to distort her vocals, known as the "Cher effect". Her 2002–2005 Living Proof: The Farewell Tour became one of the highest-grossing concert tours of all time, earning $250 million. In 2008, she signed a $60 million deal to headline the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas for three years. During the 2010s, she landed starring roles in the films Burlesque (2010) and Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again (2018) and released studio albums Closer to the Truth (2013) and Dancing Queen (2018), both of which debuted at number three on the Billboard 200.
Having sold 100 million records, Cher is one of the world's best-selling music artists. Her achievements include a Grammy Award, an Emmy Award, an Academy Award, three Golden Globe Awards, the Billboard Icon Award, and awards from the Kennedy Center Honors and the Council of Fashion Designers of America. She is the only artist to date to have a number-one single on a Billboard chart in six consecutive decades, from the 1960s to the 2010s. Aside from music and acting, she is noted for her political views, social media presence, philanthropic endeavors, and social activism, including LGBT rights and HIV/AIDS prevention.

Cher Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You keep pushing me aside
And I can't break through
There's no talking to you
It's so sad that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
But after all is said and done
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
What am I supposed to do
Sit around and wait for you?
Well I can't do that
And there's no turning back
I need time to move on
I need a love to feel strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Well I know that I'll get through this
'Cause I know that I am strong
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
I don't need you anymore
No I don't need you anymore
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
Do you believe in life after love?
I can feel something inside me say
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
The lyrics of Cher's song "Believe" are about a woman who has been pushed aside by her lover and is struggling to move on. The song expresses the pain that she feels and the difficulty of letting go of someone she loves. The chorus, which asks the question "Do you believe in life after love?" is a powerful reflection on the pain of heartbreak and the hope that one day, the person can move on and find love again.
The first verse talks about the frustration of not being able to communicate with the person who is leaving her. She has tried but they keep pushing her away. She is also acknowledging that it takes time to come to terms with the breakup and accept that he is gone. Despite the sadness she feels inside, the chorus repeats the question, "Do you believe in life after love?" as if to remind herself that she can and will move on.
The second verse communicates the woman's determination to move forward with her life. She realizes that she cannot just sit around and wait for him to come back to her. She needs to find the strength within herself to move on and let go of the past. Despite the hurt he has caused her, she is confident in her own strength and believes that she deserves better. The repetition of the chorus at the end of the song, with a more confident tone, suggests that the woman has found the strength to move on and believes in life after love.
Overall, "Believe" is a powerful anthem that expresses the pain of heartbreak and the strength it takes to move on. Cher's powerful vocals and catchy beats make this song a classic that continues to resonate with people today.

No matter how hard I try
Despite my best efforts
You keep pushing me aside
You reject me, ignore me
And I can't break through
I cannot get through to you
There's no talking to you
You don't want to listen or communicate
It's so sad that you're leaving
I'm disappointed or heartbroken that you're leaving
It takes time to believe it
It takes me a while to accept or come to terms with it
But after all is said and done
Ultimately, when everything is considered
You're gonna be the lonely one, oh
You will be alone, despite rejecting me
Do you believe in life after love?
Do you think it's possible to recover from a failed relationship?
I can feel something inside me say
I have a strong intuition or feeling
I really don't think you're strong enough, no
I don't believe you can handle it or move on
What am I supposed to do
I'm unsure of how to proceed
Sit around and wait for you?
Should I wait for you to change your mind or come back?
Well I can't do that
I cannot just wait indefinitely
And there's no turning back
There's no reversing or going back to how things were
I need time to move on
I need some time to heal and move on from this
I need a love to feel strong
I need a relationship to make me feel secure and strong
'Cause I've had time to think it through
I've had some time to reflect and consider my options
And maybe I'm too good for you, oh
Perhaps I deserve better than you
Well I know that I'll get through this
I have confidence that I'll overcome this difficult time
'Cause I know that I am strong
I'm confident in my own abilities and resilience
I don't need you anymore
I no longer require you in my life
No I don't need you anymore
I'm repeating that I do not need you

My Male professor use to secretly listen to Cher every morning, I came in early to class because I am a nerd and just liked being early to prep and he quickly turned it off, probably embarrassed. I told him hey turn that back on ...I believe
He smiled then laughed and turned it back on.
